If we have four more years of Biden or a single day of Harris, our country will be badly worse off.

For the sake of our nation, we have to go with Donald Trump.

Donald Trump has been demonized. He's been sued. He's been prosecuted and he nearly lost his

life. We cannot let him down and we cannot let America down.

Donald Trump's former rivals for the Republican nomination showing loyalty to him last night at the

Republican National Convention. We'll have more of their speeches and a live report from

Milwaukee straight ahead. Plus, we'll have a look at President Biden's pitch to a key voting

block he needs this November to hold on to the White House. And we'll bring you the fallout

from Democratic Senator Bob Menendez's corruption conviction as high-profile members of his own party

call on him to resign. Good morning and welcome to way too early on this Wednesday, July 17th.

I'm Jonathan Lemire.

Thanks for starting your day with us.

And we'll begin this morning with day two of the Republican National Convention,

where a pair of Donald Trump's formal rivals for the GOP nomination

fell in line with full-throated endorsements for him.

Nikki Haley, who, of course, called Trump unhinged and unfit for office during her primary campaign,

she took the stage last night to a mixture of cheers

and booze. She was initially not invited to the convention, but over the weekend, Trump asked

her to come and speak. Despite her past criticisms, Haley now says the party needs to show unity

in support of its nominee.

I'll start by making one thing perfectly clear.

Donald Trump has my strong endorsement period.
